Rip currents near coastal structures in Lake Michigan: Characterization and assessment for warnings

Rip currents near coastal structures commonly occur in Lake Michigan in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Lack of timely warning due to undocumented characteristics of rip currents and no assessment tool can contribute to tragic drownings incidents. In this paper, we characterized rip current occurrences near breakwater structures and developed an assessment tool for providing timely rip current warnings to beachgoers at the study site, City of Port Washington, WI. Characteristics of rip currents near the structure were observed from field measurements or visual images. Deflection rip currents had speeds of ～ 0.2 m/s and lasted for several hours. The rip current occurrences were associated with environmental proxies. It was found that rip currents can occur even when the water appears calm near the structure. A Structure Rip Checklist and Assessment Matrix (SRiCAM) with a four-tiered risk was developed and validated using observations. Furthermore, the SRiCAM was integrated into cyberinfrastructure with a data contingency plan to provide real-time warnings to the public. The applicability of the SRiCAM to other locations across Lake Michigan was further tested and results are promising. Overall, the SRiCAM has the potential to be widely extended to foster recreational water safety and resilience to rip current hazards in the Great Lakes.     

Diet composition and overlap for adult walleye,lake whitefish,and yellow perch in Green Bay,Lake Michigan

Interspecific interactions among walleye Sander vitreus, lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis, and yellow perch Perca flavescens in Green Bay could influence the population status of each species, but potential trophic interactions are poorly understood. Our objectives were to determine if diet assemblages for each species and diet overlap among species varied spatially and temporally within Green Bay. Adult walleye (≥381 mm total length (TL); N = 981), lake whitefish (≥432 mm TL; N = 1507), and yellow perch (≥150 mm TL; N = 1174) were collected during May-October of 2018 and 2019 from multiple locations in southern and northern Green Bay. Diet assemblages of each species varied between northern and southern Green Bay, but walleye diets were more temporally variable (among months within zones and between years) than diets of lake whitefish or yellow perch. Lake whitefish represented a seasonally important prey item for walleye in southern Green Bay, composing 10 % and 41 % of walleye diets by weight in May and June, respectively. Yellow perch generally composed <15 % of walleye diets by weight but were consumed at a broader spatiotemporal scale than lake whitefish. Diet overlap between walleye and both lake whitefish and yellow perch was generally weak or moderate, whereas diet overlap between whitefish and perch was generally strong. Our assessment of adult trophic interactions suggests that changes in the population status of one species could influence fisheries for all three, and we identify additional research questions to address potential population-level effects of these trophic interactions.     

填料类型与填充率对短程硝化的影响研究

研究不同填料类型与不同填充率对氨氮转化能力及亚氮积累效果影响。结果表明,在填充率相同的情况下,比表面积800 m²/m³的PE-03型号填料亚硝化效果最佳,氨氮转化50%,亚氮积累99%,PE-04型号填料比表面积1 200 m²/m³,相比于PE-03,氨氮转化降低5%、亚氮积累降低3%,PE-05型号填料比表面积510 m²/m³,相比于PE-03,氨氮转化30%、亚氮积累92%;随着填料填充率10%增加到30%,氨氮转化能力从20%增长至55%,之后再增加填充料,会小范围减小亚硝化能力,最低降至48%,由于该阶段亚硝化稳定运行,AOB优势生长,填充率的改变对亚氮积累率的影响不大。不同填料类型的影响研究中,PE-03型号的填料效果最佳;在填充率的考察中,随着同种填料填充率的增加,氨氮转化能力先增加后略微减小,对亚氮积累的情况影响较小;综合经济及技术因素,确定悬浮填料取材为PE-03型号,比表面积为800 m²/m³     

Opportunities for combining data of Estonian and Russian monitoring to reflect on water quality in large transboundary Lake Peipsi

Lake Peipsi, one of the world’s largest lakes, is shared between Estonia and Russia. The water quality in different parts of the lake has so far been assessed independently. Here we explore opportunities for combining data of Estonian and Russian monitoring. For that, we 1) analysed the compatibility of data for some water quality variables; 2) estimated the potential effects of the differences in sampling frequency; 3) provided a few regression models to calculate the missing data for months not sampled by the Russian side. Data of the concurrent Estonian and Russian sampling indicated a good compatibility. Estonian data analysis suggested that water quality assessment results are sensitive to sampling frequency. For example, total phosphorus (TP) in the largest basin showed a long-term decreasing trend in three month data that disappeared when data for other months were added. Disregarding some months may lead to under- or overestimation of certain factors with no consistency in the response of different basins. Hence, data of the whole ice-free period are recommended for an adequate water quality assessment. Furthermore, we demonstrated that monthly values of the water quality variables of the same year are autocorrelated. Based on this, we filled the gaps in the long-term data and compiled a dataset for the whole lake that enables its most comprehensive use in water quality assessment and management. Long-term data revealed no water quality improvement of Lake Peipsi. Further reduction of the external nutrient load is needed. Eutrophication is sustained by high internal phosphorus load.

适用于无线体域网的动态口令认证协议

无线体域网中传输的是与生命高度相关的敏感数据，身份认证是信息安全保护的第一道防线。现有的基于人体生物信息的身份认证方案存在信息难提取、偶然性大和误差性大的问题，基于传统密码学的认证方案需较大计算资源和能量消耗，并不适用于无线体域网环境。为此，在动态口令和非对称加密机制基础上，提出一种适用于无线体域网的动态口令双向认证轻量协议，并对其进行形式化分析。通过理论证明、SVO逻辑推理及SPIN模型检测得出：该协议满足双向认证，且能够抵御重放攻击、伪装攻击、拒绝服务器攻击和口令离线攻击，具有较高安全性。     

四川盆地龙女寺构造龙王庙组储层特征及地震响应

2005年威远构造威寒1井龙王庙组获11×10⁴ m³/d的测试产量揭示了四川盆地内部龙王庙组勘探的突破。随着勘探的深入，川中磨溪—高石梯地区多口百万立方米气井的获得证实了龙王庙组巨大的勘探潜力。然而，龙女寺构造龙王庙组储层发育情况展现出与磨溪—高石梯（高磨主体）地区较大的差异，以传统“亮点”反射模式作为储层预测的指导思想已经无法满足现今勘探的需要。以龙女寺构造龙王庙组储层为例，借助已有岩心、薄片、测录井及地震资料，对区内龙王庙组储层与高磨主体地区龙王庙组储层进行对比研究，同时对储层的地震响应进行进一步的探索。研究表明：研究区龙王庙组发育局限台地沉积，颗粒滩相作为储层发育的最有利相带，最主要的储集岩类为颗粒云岩及晶粒云岩，储集空间包括粒间（溶）孔、晶间（溶）孔、溶洞等；研究区内储层表现出低孔低渗的特征，非均质性强，纵向展布差异大，横向可对比性差。对比分析“亮点”反射模式，采用波形聚类属性对储层进行平面分布预测，明确不同储层发育情况对应的波形特征。I类波形对应于储层发育于顶部，储层厚度>30 m；II类波形对应于储层发育于中部，储层厚度>20 m，或顶部中部发育2套相距20 m左右、厚度15 m左右的储层；I、II类波形为储层发育有利波形；III类波形对应储层较薄（<5 m）且储层呈薄互层状发育或储层欠发育；IV类波形对应储层欠发育；III、IV类波形为储层发育不利波形。该方法可有效地规避“假亮点”反射，预测结果与沉积相发育特征及实钻井储层发育情况吻合率高。
